Furthermore, the festival will also release special ticket types to exclusive NFT holders of Bored Ape Yacht Club, Doodles, and others to be announced.

They added, “NFTs are just another way we plan to leave our footprint in the digital world. Our fans – who also have their finger on the pulse of electronic music culture and the virtual world – deserve to gain access to cool perks for being NFT holders.”

Established in 2009 by Made Event, Electric Zoo is one of NYC’s largest music festivals. It features top-tier names in electronic music, bringing a wide variety of acts from around the globe and across the spectrum of electronic music’s various subgenres.

This week, the festival announced its upgrade to Electric Zoo 3.0. And while lips remain zipped on the 2022 lineup and presale access, based on past years’ stellar headlining acts and exciting teasers, we’re sure the team at Electric Zoo has some incredible things in store.
